OF FRUIT BUSINESS PROFITS A .method by which tho fruit Rrow. cr of. tho ItoRuo nivcr vnlloy mtiy )nato 100 vcr cent more profit was outlined by Hon. W. A. Pntilhnmua of IMtynllup, Washington nt tho Nntn torlum Wednesday afternoon. Tho method In Tirlof la for tho grower to pay qunrtr of cent ft box for tho maintenance of a growers council which In turn will so organ ize tho orchard production of tho northwest that prices may ho main tained throughout tho country. Tho Bpeakor said that with such an or ganization ho believed tho grower would receive 25 cents moro per box oven undor present conditions. There Is no attempt to dtctata as to what organisation tho local grow er shall ship through, tho only re quirement is that every member of tho organlratlnn sign an agreement that ho will not ship through any soiling agency not subject to tho dir ection of tho shippers council. "Thore aro from five to seven hun dred different sellers" said the speaker." far too many, but wo must go slow. If wo tried to weed out tho bad ones wo would atl be dead before an) thing could bo accomplished. Wo must tako conditions as they aro and try to Improve them slowly, growing to tho ideal condition by degrees." Cut Out Contffrnmcnt "Our principal desire at present Is to cut out tho consignment business. No member of the council can sell on consignment and no sane person should want to sell on consignment Wo havo no objection to cash sales, though If everyone sold independ ently there would bo too much book' keeping." "AH o will, try. to.tlo now will bo to keep books with 'tho Foiling agen cies, know over)' day what fruit is coin, where Wid for Vhavprlco and BRONZES AS T AMD WAR ALARM R E XPOSITION price what !ollovc wo can maintain the and eventually dlciato as to tho prlco shall bo." "Tho mombors of tho cxecutlvo committee, Mr. Haskell, Mr. Duller and myself will call in tho selling representatives and talk,otcr with them what they consider proper pri ces for the year, for 8pitz, Yellow Now towns, Comlco pears, etc., etc and then after considering every con dition wo will tell' them our price. Wo may havo to lower that prlco if wo find we were mistaken. Wo have no dcslro to treat the selling agen cies unfairly. Our purpose Is to co operate with them to our mutual benefit. The only way wo can stabil ize tho market is through organiza tion and co-operation." Mr. I'aulhamus then showed tho result of tho samo principles applied in tho canning business in I'uyallup whero bo said many years ago they considered S00 crates of raspberries glutting tho market. Thoy found later that with organization they could sell a hundred times as many crates at 30 per cent higher prices. Tho sumo result would follow In any lino of business whero business prin ciples wcro adopted, ho maintained. Help l'coplo Already Hero Regarding tho local condition In gonor.il Mr. Paulhamus said if Med ford would pay less attention to liter ature for securing now settlors and moro attention to helping tho Bottlers hero mako a living tho country would bo vastly Improved. Get your commercial club to get behind your local Industries. Hero Is tho apple juico factory for examplo, boost it, help it and you will soon havo a most vnluablo industry horo. Mako local business profitable and your r.rowth in- population will follow ns a matter of course "You havo spent much llroo upon tho proper methods of growing fruit, Bpraylng, smudging, pruning, ec, etc, Theso aro nil important, of course, but what good does It do you to raise tho host pear In tho world it you can't get a profit on It. From my experience I should Eay that growing tho fruit was about 25 per cont of tho business and soiling it about 75 lor cent. You need first of all cap able nnd aggresslvo kailorshlp and organization. With these two factors there Is no reason why tho fruit bus iness can not bo made as profitable kb any other business." Mr, Paulhamus was Introduced by W. A. Wostorlund and his talk was forcoful, direct and full of practical common sense. At the conclusion of tho meeting a large numbor of growers joined the council and tho applause was most enthusiastic when the speaker took his seat. (.Knim the Sim I'i iuumm Cnll.l While milium thundered fifty miles from 1'nrN. I. l.uie Fuller, fnmniK dancer, with nun' her woman mul two men, worked in ii little nit foumler'n shop in the Krenrli i-upilnl in the jjliu of n crucible where seethed molten meinl wrested from the nnge tw of war to pivc permanence to thir teen wonderful hits of MMilplnrc, the work of Arthur I'utnmu, Sun Krnti cico sculptor. How Ln Loie intrepidly entered tho war rone with the precious plaster models, iimpiied by detemiinntion to have exhibited nt the expoi ion the work of a sculptor she considers the equal in ninny respects lo Itodin, is u hlory of compelling niiniiiioo. llrnm-s nt Ko,UJtin The thirteen bronzes nro at the e K)Mtioii and will noon lie unpacked nnd plnccd in the palace of fine arts. Hut for In Loie's courage and indom itable stunt, nnd tho generosity of Mrs. A. H. Spreekels, these exquisite works of genius might still he repos inc in fragile ihv'cr in Put mint's studio nt the beach here. The story Hind its beginning in Paris Inst July. Ln Loie, who has lived for twenty-two years in that qity nnd is of the inner circle of Par isian artists, went with Mrs. Sprook cls to the home of Francis Auhiirtiu, tho man whose word is the ultimate law in the judgment of works of nrt presented for exhibit ion in the Pnris salons. Putnam's Work HoMii-rected A salon was then in preparation. On a mantel Mrs. Sprcckcls recogniz ed n small bronze punin as the work of Putnam. Auhiirtiu imd gien it only cnsunl notice, but with his nt icntion drawn ho quickly recognizid its high merit It was prominently placed in tho union, nnd as n result Putnam ws within n few otcs of being admitted to the circle of artists which had re fused to admit Rodin to its cxclusite confines. Lu,Loio came to San Francisco last August nnd immediately besought Mrs. Sprcckcls to take her to sec the sculptor. At Putnam's studio hn suw'irioittWrtTerfiiniltle figures, but nil in plaster. I'ntthu-iuti'c, she went to J. I). Trttsk, chief of tho fine arts department of the oxMsition. Trnsk shared her enthusiasm oxer Putnam's work, but said it could not be plnccd in the palace of fine arts unless done into bronze. Platters in 1-Yagmcnts A few weeks later found La Loie on the Atlantic with three boxes contain ing thirteen precious plaster figures. The art foundries of America were too busy with cxmition sculpture to handle tho work. In Loudon she left the lioxw while she went nbcad to Pnris to rccomioi tcr the situation. There sho finally induced an art founder to undertake the work. Two men were sent to Iondou t bring the boxes THIS "GIRL FROM UTAH" IS A DANCER, NOT A MORMON MAID v i v-ojt t ij- 0 - a i y X- Qar v x. x a ff r l X s &5S m S JULIA 5ANDE&SOM Julia Sanderson Isn't a Mormon, and never lived In Utah, but slio dances divinely and sings pretty well Hint's why she's put) lug tho title rolo In "Tho ttlrl From Utah" a musical comedy based on the w a) s of tho Mormons.

Dikmmn ngnin confronted La Loie. To finish ami polish the bronzes properly would take more than n i'ar of one man's time. There were twenty-six of the figuies, duplicates having been made. She went to the man who does the finishing for lto- din, showed him Putnam's work and ' induced him to gtrhur hi forces nnd go to work upon the sit of bronzes. In three months the work wa fin-, ished. i Safely Aiross Channel Getting out of France with the bronzes was another problem mul La I Loie i reticent on this (mint. Hut it is known that a French gunboat left j Hat re and went to Southampton. She! appeared in Loudon u few hours later with one set of the bronze ndn n set of Itodin she bad been commissioned When thev were op-lo buy fur Mrs. Sprcckcls, together I with nulographed works of French artists and writers which she was bringing to America to dispose of for the benefit of the widows and orph ans of ai lists who fall nt the front. .Meanwhile Putnam had been anx iously inquiring of Mrs. Sprcckcls re garding tho fate of La Loie and bis helot ed plaster models. One day in tho latter part of February, nearly five mouths after the dancer had left here on her mission, word was receiv ed that she was again safely on board a steamer at Liverpool wi h the thir teen statues in 'bronze.
